Ethene is related to:

Correct answer: D. Breaks bud dormancy

  • A. Short supply of minerals in soil
  • B. Ridges of fingertips
  • C. Pain
  • D. Breaks bud dormancy

Explanation

This option is closely related to ethene. Ethene plays a role in breaking bud dormancy, particularly in woody plants. During dormancy, buds remain inactive and do not grow. Ethene acts as a signaling molecule that triggers the resumption of growth in buds, leading to bud break and the emergence of new shoots in the spring. Ethene helps regulate various aspects of plant growth and development, including dormancy release.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
